Mmmm…cookies.
I don’t know about you, but when it’s cold out I like to stay inside and eat cookies. I made these chocolate chip cookies after my friend Laura sent me the link to the recipe — The New York Times cookies. I used regular flour, regular chocolate chips plus some white chocolate chunks and an ice cream scoop to get them the right size.
These would be great for Valentine’s Day and I think a single cookie would make a nice little gift for a teacher or co-worker. I’ve always loved this Martha Stewart CD sleeve idea, but you could just wrap them with parchment paper and twine as I did here.
Hope
